The following is an interview with Gerald Amirault.He was put in jail in the notorious Fells Acres child abuse case from the 80's. It is a long interview, but it shows what Martha Coalkey is all about. Amirault was wrongly imprisoned and Coakley made sure that he spent an additional three years in prison while playing politics. I will post some articles to further explain the story

Judge Benge 'devastated' after being removed from bench

by Staff and wire reports

Updated yesterday at 6:20 PM

NEW ORLEANS â A Jefferson Parish judge is âdevastatedâ by a Louisiana Supreme Court ruling that removed her from the bench, according to her attorney.

Judge Joan Benge was ordered out of her post in a ruling over whether she had allowed a relationship with another judge to influence her decision in a case.

The court's ruling cited evidence that Benge awarded money to a man who had sued over a traffic accident even though she privately said the suit had no merit.

âShe is devastated,â said her attorney Franz Ziblich. âShe felt the same way we all felt coming out of oral arguments. We all felt really good, and she is devastated.â

FBI agents investigating broader allegations of judicial misconduct taped a 2001 conversation between Benge and former state Judge Robert Bodenheimer in which he lobbied her to rule in favor of the plaintiff, whose lawyer was one of Benge's campaign donors.

Your Money
Money Talks to Have Before Marriage
By RON LIEBER
Published: October 23, 2009
Divorce tends to be emotionally gut-wrenching for the people who go through it (not to mention those around them). But most couples donât realize that divorce can also be among the most ruinous financial moves anyone can make.

Sure, you could bet big and lose on a single stock or money manager. Or your small business could go bankrupt, taking your life savings with it. But divorce and the costs that often come with it â from legal bills to the sudden need for an additional residence â affect far more people.

HANG IN THERE

Current divorce law says - You get joint custody of your child(ren) EQUALLY TO THE EXTENT THAT IS FEASIBLE.

Hang in their and fight for them.

You are an important part of their lives.

Childless man released from child support debt

Sun, 06 Sep 2009 19:51:30 -0000

What is wrong with this picture?

Just how evil or out of touch are our state legislatures that allow this sort of behavior?

Interesting story from CNN

Always get a DNA test. This man paid child support for someone elses child for 13 years.

The state continued to demand $16,000 in back 'child support' after he proved the child was not his because they had a 'consent agreement'. That is just wrong.

Furthermore, They still have a hold on his drivers license. They still have a hold on his income tax refunds.

Dirty Secret No. 1 in Obamacare by Chuck Norris

The link to the full article by Chuck is here
at TownHall.com

So what is he worried about?

It's outlined in sections 440 and 1904 of the House bill (Page 838), under the heading "home visitation programs for families with young children and families expecting children." The programs (provided via grants to states) would educate parents on child behavior and parenting skills.

Cool, free parenting classes! NOT.

....

The bill says that the government agents, "well-trained and competent staff," would "provide parents with knowledge of age-appropriate child development in cognitive, language, social, emotional, and motor domains ... modeling, consulting, and coaching on parenting practices," and "skills to interact with their child to enhance age-appropriate development."

How are we going to reduce health care costs if we are hiring a virtual army of social workers to 'educate' parents?

....

One government rebuttal is that this program would be "voluntary." Is that right? Does that imply that this agency would just sit back passively until some parent needing parenting skills said, "I don't think I'll call my parents, priest or friends or read a plethora of books, but I'll go down to the local government offices"? To the contrary, the bill points to specific targeted groups and problems, on Page 840: The state "shall identify and prioritize serving communities that are in high need of such services, especially communities with a high proportion of low-income families."

Say goodby to your mom, kids, the nanny government is in town. !!!

...

Bottom line: Is all this what you want or expect in a universal health care bill being rushed through Congress? Do you want government agents coming into your home and telling you how to parent your children? When did government health care turn into government child care?

...

At the end of the article he urges the following action.
...

Before so-called universal health care turns into universal hell care, write or call your representative today and protest his voting Obamacare into law. Remind him that what is needed in Washington is a truly bipartisan group that is allowed an ample amount of time to work on a compromise health care law that wouldn't raise taxes (for anyone), regulate personal medical choices, ration health care or restrict American citizens.

Town Hall Meeting

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 16:31:41 -0000

Well. I 'attended' the Town Hall meeting - unfortunately the place was so packed with lines of people waiting to get in. So I spent most of the meeting out in the hall unable to hear what was going on.

They ended the meeting before everyone could get a chance to ask questions. So I was not able to raise any of our issues.

That's a shame.

It is not often that you have 4 cabinet secretaries within spitting distance.
